Passing proxy configurations with databricks-sql-connector python?

venkad — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 12:52:35 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to connect to databricks workspace which has IP Access restriction enabled using databricks-sql-connector. Only my Proxy server IPs are added in the allow list.

from databricks import sql
 
connection = sql.connect(
  server_hostname ='adb-random12094383.azuredatabricks.net', 
  http_path       ='/sql/1.0/endpoints/randomid', 
  access_token='<access token here>',
)
with connection.cursor() as cur:
  cur.execute('show schemas')
  print(cur.fetchall())

This fails with the below error

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also tried with the proxy setting along with the http_headers

  connection = sql.connect(
  server_hostname ='adb-random12094383.azuredatabricks.net', 
  http_path       ='/sql/1.0/endpoints/randomid', 
  access_token='<access token here>',
  http_headers= [("https_proxy", "proxy.mydomain.com:912"), ("http_proxy", "proxy.mydomain.com:912")]
  )

Still it fails with the same error.

How to pass the proxy setting to the Databricks Python SQL connector?

Sorry. I couldn't understand it. The URL shared doesn't say anything about the proxy.

Do you mean to set the proxy with the os environment variable?

I couldn't set the proxy setting on the environment level. I want to set it only for this databricks SQL module alone.

`databricks-sql-connector` doesn't support HTTP proxies yet but the work is underway to implement it. Should be available in the next month or so. You can follow this issue on the open source repository for updates.

Hi,

You can pass the proxy settings following the steps mentioned here: https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/python-sql-connector.html#insert-data

Also, would like to ask are you not importing the OS modules?
